I usually love the trout, but this time it just wasn’t as good...disappointed.
Staff was very friendly and did an outstanding job of providing great service while at the same time allowing us privacy for our business discussions. Food was excellent!
we enjoy Jack's restaurant often. Always great food and service.
My wife’s 70th birthday and Jack’s is such a cool neighborhood bar and restaurant. Service and food was impeccable. We will go there for whatever the reason because it’s a class act. Thanks Jacks...
I have always enjoyed having dinner at Jack's. Jack leads a trusted skilled team who are personable, professional and long term employees.
Reliable good food. Great experience. Jack is a great host! Been going there since it opened. A treasure!
Nice neighborhood cafe & bar, moderate prices and noise level
We didn’t appreciate an automatic 20% tip on a party of 6 bill which also included 2 bottles of wine.. My husband felt like we were taken advantage of. We are not in Europe where this is customary. And, in the US it tends to happen with a party of 8 or greater. Not nice!!!
Jack's is a warm and inviting neighborhood gem, with a welcoming atmosphere, good food, and good service. Admittedly there are better, but more expensive dining options in south Orange County, but it's hard to beat Jack's for a quite, relaxing evening among friends. Entrees are very good, and the service is excellent.
We had an enjoyable evening with friends. Food and service were very good to outstanding. Friendly place.
Table was ready at reservation time. Server was gracious and helpful. Menu included a selection of vegan dishes in addition to a fine selection to suit anyone. A request to substitute a plated dish item was honored. When we requested a quiet table, the host tried to comply. Food was served hot, fresh and very good.
Ambiance was very good and noise level satisfactory for those of us who were hearing challenged.
If you're looking for a casual, warm and inviting local restaurant with good food and friendly staff, Jack's is your place. The food is consistently good, and the service always warm and friendly. Jack makes diners feel very welcome, as does the waitstaff. Entrees are good, especially the lobster ravioli and seafood dishes. Sides are also very good, in particular the braised carrots. There are better restaurants in south Orange County; certainly more expensive establishments; but it's pretty hard to beat Jack's for a pleasant overall dining experience.
Excelente aviente para tener una cena tranquila y relajada!! La comida muy rica!! Bonito lugar.
Food was great, service was great drinks were not that great at all. Moscow mule had really no ginger beer and my specialty cocktails was pretty bad too!
This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants. Always excellent...plus, the bartender makes the BEST dirty vodka martini around.

The food is consistently good, and the menu is varied, and includes many vegan and gluten free options. Portions are generous and the specials are always good. If you're looking for a casual neighborhood restaurant with good food and great service, Jack's is your place.
What's not to like here? Well, perhaps the decor is not modern & flashy, but the food makes up for this. The pour for a drink is full. The meat is grass-fed, & the restaurant uses lots of organic. The entree comes with a salad also. The service is friendly & attentive. This is a neighborhood gem with a parking lot also.
Jack's Dana Point is very consistent and never disappoints. The staff is friendly, cordial, and most have been there for years, adding to the "going home" vibe. The food is delicious, and Jack is one of the nicest people in the restaurant business. Jack's is my favorite restaurant, by far.
Really like the food and dining experience. Just a simple nice place with great food!
Great food and staff
Mario is wonderfully!!
Great neighborhood restaurant with with comfortable casual feel.
Excellent service, great food. The eggplant parmesan is to die for.
Great food and friendly service.
The folks at Jack's always make diners feel very welcome, including Jack himself. Service is always first rate, and the food is excellent.
Arrived early for our 5:45 dinner reservation and were seated right away. The food and service were excellent. Our only complaint was that we arrived during happy hour but could not get the happy hour drink price even though our booth was adjacent to the bar area. In addition the same maître d’ who showed us to our table and told us that, showed another couple to a booth in our area carrying their drinks. Poor business acumen.
Great meal. Service slow.
As faithful customers for more than twenty years, we are admittedly biased. However, there is simply no better option in South County for quality food at a reasonable price. The fish specials are always outstanding. And if you are in the mood for a pasta dish (Saliccia) or salad (Greek or Spinach), Jack's offers many choices. Jacks is a family owned business, and never fails to exceed our dining expectations.
Best atmosphere and great people who work there.
Jack is an amazing restaurant owner
The food was also amazing.

Always a great meal and excellent service. I would highly recommend Jack's for any occasion.
The food is always delicious, the wait staff very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere welcoming and the noise level low!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
We sometimes forget about this cozy local spot. Everything about it is great. Maybe a few more veggie options or some more creative specials. But overall love it.
A great local restaurant in Dana Point. Great choices of entrees as well as daily specials. Have been going there for years, and have never been disappointed.
I loved the neighborhood feel of Jack's. I could tell I was surrounded by "regulars". The food was very good. We started with sharing 2 small pizzas, one vegan and the other with shrimp and other goodies and an eggplant appetizer. Both pizzas were excellent, very thin crust and perfectly complimentary toppings. The eggplant was delicious as well, all 5 of us agreed on this review thus far. Everyone was very pleased with their entrees as well. I would definitely go back. The only negative was the service...slow.
Jacks is Always awesome!!! Exceptional food, great affordable prices & super friendly staff. This place is a hidden gem!!
Jack's is my absolutely favorite Dana Point restaurant: great food, cordial and attentive service, and the perfect ambience for dinner and conversation without having to shout. I wish it would go on forever.
This is one of the few spots near Dana Point harbor with veggie options. My mom is vegetarian, so I was happy we weren't limited to seafood. I, however, had the warm salmon salad, and the salmon was AMAZING--cooked and seasoned so well.
The food is always delicious and the service is excellent as well. It is our favorite local spot.
